Summary

Why would a stealthy Black Hawk helicopter be conducting training in the middle of an active flight path? Seems like a recipe for disaster, and—shockingly—it was. With years of "close calls" stacking up and an aviation industry stretched thin on staffing and oversight, a tragic collision like this starts to feel more like an inevitability than an anomaly. From under qualified aircraft mechanics to questionable air traffic control oversight, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer unravel the unsettling reality of air travel safety in the United States. Were we really supposed to believe this was just an unfortunate accident—or is it time to ask who signed off on this game of aerial bumper cars?
